Conclusion
The Amex Blue Cash Preferred Card now has two new bonus categories. You earn 6% Cash Back on streaming subscriptions and 3% cash back on transit, including parking, tolls, trains and rideshares. That’s in addition to the 6% cash back on $6,000 in purchases annually at U.S. supermarkets.
The $300 bonus is good, but not the best we have seen. The highest ever offer is $450. The spending requirement is also higher than usual at $3,000, but you have 6 months to complete it. However, the annual fee is waived the first year, which saves you $95.
The offer is available through referrals as well, so that could be the best way to go about applying. If you use a referral link, the person referring you also earns a bonus, which can be as high as 30K Membership Rewards points in some cases.
